Tips
Check the registration rate before responding to an OA — examiners with high approval rates may be more receptive to well-reasoned arguments
Look at the avg filing-to-first-OA timeline — a quick first OA often means the examiner reviews applications promptly
Filter by “Office Action = Yes” to see how often an examiner issues refusals — some examiners issue OAs on nearly every application, others rarely
Review the examiner’s cases in your class — an examiner’s behavior in Class 9 may differ from their behavior in Class 25
